Manipulation score

How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.
Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations.

The line on the day we went was about 20 minutes long, and it took another 20 minutes for the order to be ready. Because the place was full, it wasn't easy to find a place to eat. Like the other locations, the snacks, drinks, and desserts maintain a high standard of quality, and therefore everything...
